The plants chosen were designed to simulate the natural and restful feel of the British woodland. A mix of birch and wild cherry tree varieties were chosen for the canopy layer. These were underplanted with a combination of ferns, grasses, herbaceous perennials, and shrubs to create a diverse habitat as you would find naturally in nature. Dark purples, striking pinks and soft lilacs looked stunning against the whites and more delicate blues and soft pinks. A mix of ferns and low growing Hydrangeas added a softness and flow to the borders. The taller seed heads of the Molinia grasses were brought alive by the flower spikes of Lythrum, Lobelia and Verbena, and their elegant stems were supported by swathes of Orlaya, Agastache and Pennisetum’s. Geraniums, Tiarellas and ferns popped out from behind boulders, superbly placed to give a natural rise and fall to the borders. Scented Myrtles fragranced the air and a diverse range of insects and bugs visited the garden, attracted by the rich nectar offered by the Salvias, Agastache, Gauras, Lythrum and Geraniums.
